Controversial faith-healing televangelist Benny Hinn, has said he is guilty of preaching the prosperity gospel which is misleading.

Hinn said this in a stunning confession recorded on YouTube that he has taken the erroneous gospel too far.

“We get attacked for preaching prosperity, well it’s in the Bible, but I think some have gone to the extreme with it sadly, and it’s not God’s word what is taught and I think I’m as guilty as others….”

Hinn added saying“did Elijah the prophet have a car? No. Did not even have a bicycle. He had no lack … Did Jesus drive a car or live in a mansion? No. He had no lack. How about the apostles? None lacked among them,” Hinn said. “Today, the idea is abundance and palatial homes and cars and bank accounts. The focus is wrong … It’s so wrong.” – read more on OnwardChristianRadio
